Benchmark Metrics

Don't just ask "Is this player good?"

Ask "How does this player compare to the profile I'm looking for?" NFP Scout Pro lets you build benchmark profiles for positions, roles, playing styles and recruitment requirements — then scores every player against them.

Player vs Role Benchmark

See exactly how a player performs against your chosen profile — metric by metric. Bars, benchmark lines, radar and clear "Above / Near / Below Benchmark" indicators make the fit instantly readable.

Player Comparison

Recruitment decisions are often relative. Once you've analysed a player, compare them against another target — or against a player already in your squad. "How does this signing compare with what I've got?"
